  • The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster
    The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster Few experiences satisfy the person who savors food and drink more than a journey to the source, the place where a favorite wine, cheese, or fruit is produced. The encounter imparts a knowledge of terrain and an appreciation of techniques used to make the prized food or drink. No book can teach this experience; no number of trips to the local delicatessen or bottle shop can equal it. For the appreciator of cheese, Dutch cheese is one of the gustatory glories of the Netherlands. The place to start is a good cheese store in Amsterdam. Beyond Amsterdam, you can visit the cheese markets at Alkmaar and at Gouda. You can also visit a cheese-making farm, Clara Maria, near Amsterdam. Details can be easily arranged by the Netherlands Board of Tourism office, www.holland.com. Cheese Shops in Amsterdam Cheese shops in Amsterdam, such as Abraham Kef’s, 192 Marninxstraat, are the places to make your first encounter with Dutch cheeses. At Kef’s you can make a tasting ceremony of cheese and wine. First, try a slice of Gouda, which is 60 percent of all the cheese produced in the Netherlands. Half of this Gouda is exported, making the Dutch one of the world’s largest exporters of cheese. Ask for a piece of Young Gouda, about three months old, which is imported to the U.S. labeled Young or Mild Gouda. Most Goudas are whole milk cheeses with a fat content of 48 percent. The Young Gouda has a creamy, buttery taste.

Wheelock Jr. and Lara Yeager-Crasselt. New York, 2020–. https://theleidencollection.com/artists/nicolas- maes/ (accessed October 03, 2021). A PDF of every version of this biography is available in this Online Catalogue's Archive, and the Archive is managed by a permanent URL. New versions are added only when a substantive change to the narrative occurs. © 2021 The Leiden Collection Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Nicolaes Maes Page 2 of 5 Nicolaes Maes is an example of a Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–69) pupil who became disaffected with his master’s style relatively soon after completing his apprenticeship. Rembrandt’s style resonates in Maes’s history paintings, in which he specialized until about 1654, and in the warm tones of the genre pieces he painted until 1658. Thereafter Rembrandt’s influence faded, particularly, according to Arnold Houbraken, “more so when he began to concentrate on portraits and saw that young women in particular took more pleasure in white than in brown.”[1] Nicolaes Maes was born in Dordrecht in 1634, the second son of Gerrit Maes (d. 1684) of Ravestein and Ida Herman Claesdr (d. 1681). When Gerrit married, he moved into a house in the Voorstraat, Dordrecht, where he earned a living, and a certain degree of prosperity, as a cloth merchant. However, when he died in 1648, he was also described as a soap boiler, which was the profession of his eldest son, Abraham.

  • Strategy for the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Alliance 2019-2024 Adopted by the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Steering Group on 10 December 2018
    DRAFT TRANSLATION LDE STRATEGY (EXCL. ATTACHMENTS) Strategy for the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Alliance 2019-2024 Adopted by the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus steering group on 10 December 2018 1. Why do we need a Leiden-Delft-Erasmus strategic alliance? In 2012 the collaboration between the Leiden University, the Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University took the form of a strategic alliance, the ambitions of which were laid down in the profiling agenda ‘Adding Value’ (in Dutch). The alliance is an extension of the successful collaboration that had already been established before 2012, the most prominent achievements of which were the collaboration between the universities and the two medical centres in the medical-technical domain of the Medical Delta and the collaboration between life sciences and technology. The first phase of the collaboration in the alliance reached its conclusion at the end of 2018. Appendix I provides an overview of the achievements in this first phase. Under the flag of the LDE alliance, cooperative arrangements were formed around social themes (the LDE Centres), joint education was developed, and the range of study programmes were made more accessible for each other's students. The LDE educational portfolio offers distinct added value for students looking for a wider perspective. Five of the eight Centres have been very successful in combining the complementary strengths of the universities and making links with key social issues and stakeholders within society. They are therefore excellently positioned to meet the increasing demand for social relevance and connection. It takes time to establish a position that attracts external funding for major projects and new science.
